Whether building a new, or replacing a roof, you might feel like a kid in a sweet shop when considering the list of roofing options to choose from. While there is a huge pull towards the ever so cost effective, trendy and budget friendly Chromodek metal sheet roofing. Don’t overlook the old trusty tiled roof option…
During the rainy season, one of the most frustrating expenses is a roof replacement or constant roof maintenance. And since most metal sheet roofs, slate and flat roof waterproofing systems last only about 20 years, on average, this is an expense that you might have to endure multiple times throughout your life.
However, you can avoid forking over the big bucks on repeated roof replacements. Spend once — at the start with a tile roof. Lasting anywhere from 50 to 100 years, when correctly installed. With only light maintenance every 5-10 years, definitely worth it in the long run.
Of course, we can never predict the sheer force of mother nature. A random branch falling through the roof, or similar natural nuances. However, roof tiles are one of the most durable roof system worldwide.
Clay tiles tend to have better insulating properties than other roof tiles, making this the most popular option.
It has been proven that tiled roofs carry more value in the market, and likely tend to attract more buyers.
